The third State Flower block for 2010 is shared by four states: Illinois was the first to adopt the violet as its state flower in 1908, followed by Wisconsin in 1949, Rhode Island in 1968 and New Jersey in 1972. For our Canadian friends, the New Brunswick Provincial flower is the purple (marsh blue) violet. Heart-shaped leaves and purple flowers in the spring make this native flower an easy one to identify.
Exciting news! The Sister's Choice quilt that I made for my sister Kathy is featured on the cover of Emilie Richard's latest novel, "Sister's Choice." See more about this in the Virtual Gallery.
